I think this is what espola meant when he stated correctly that the second amendment does not grant us the right to bear arms.
It only states that the government may not infringe on the inherent right to bear arms.
Its a direct limitation on government.

Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence... From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to ensure peace, security, and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable... The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference. When firearms go, all goes...

Your described sense of freedom steps on the freedom others seek.
There is no " Sense " or " Self described " in the below
three items....Those are Facts ...Part of the building blocks
of America...!
I have the FREEDOM of Speech..!
I have the FREEDOM/RIGHT to bear arms if needed against a tyrannical Government...!
I have the FREEDOM/RIGHT to assemble against a tyrannical Government...!
Where in those three am I ( or anyone else ) stepping
on others Freedoms....unless they ARE IMPEDING MY FREEDOM...!
America DOES NOT WANT A SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST SHITHOLE...!
If YOU want that system YOU have all the FREEDOM and every RIGHT to
pack up and source out a Country that will fill YOUR needs....!
Go on ....Git....Go " Sense out " YOUR self described utopia....!
Just remember this....America will welcome YOU back...!
But you might have a hard time leaving the " Utopia " YOU seek...!

Thomas Jefferson asserted that "the strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government" (Thomas Jefferson Papers,p. 334, 1950). According to Alexander Hamilton, "f the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government."
Several Founders wrote of the importance of maintaining an armed citizenry. Thomas Jefferson felt strongly that "[n]o free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” (Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334) Zacharia Johnson, delegate to Virginia Ratifying Convention, agreed that "the people are not to be disarmed of their weapons." Samuel Adams even pushed for an amendment stating that the "Constitution shall never be construed... to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms" (Phila. Independent Gazetteer, August 20, 1789).
James Monroe was assured that, if the right to keep and bear arms was “well defined, and secured against encroachment, it [would be] impossible that government should ever degenerate into tyranny." James Madison felt confident that "Americans need never fear their government because of the advantage of being armed."

Democrats’ Worst Nightmare – Texas Attempts a Rational Response to Mass Shooting: LOOSEN Gun Laws
Posted at 9:41 pm on August 09, 2019 by Alex Parker
Here’s something many Democrats certainly won’t understand.
In response to the mass shooting in El Paso, the state is set to make firearm possession…more common.
But I thought guns are solely instruments of evil?
Just ask Samantha Bee — get rid of the guns, get rid of the problem (here).
Some in the Lone State State feel differently.
Therefore, the law may be loosened — allowing firearms to be taken into schools, foster homes, apartment complexes, and houses of worship.
As reported by USA Today:
House Bill 1143 prevents school districts from prohibiting employees and other visitors at school campuses to store firearms in locked vehicles.
House Bill 2363 lets foster parents possess firearms “in a safe and secure matter … for personal protection purposes.”
Senate Bill 535 will reduce penalties for people who carry guns at “churches, synagogues or other places of worship” that prohibit firearms. … The bill treats places of worship in the same way private businesses are treated: They can still post signs prohibiting firearms, but will reduce penalties for people who unknowingly carry.
And how ’bout gun sales? House Bill 3231 will take care of those. It “curbs the ability of municipalities” to restrict them.
In my recent article about Samantha, I asked a question to which I’ve never received a satisfactory answer. It concerns the removal of guns from society:
“How do you get the murderers to agree to that?”
Apparently, state Rep. Donna Campbell has a similar perspective:
“Those with evil intentions will violate the law and carry out their heinous acts no matter what.”
The ignorant will trade their rights for a government promise of protection.
I dont want a government that points to my rights as the reason for their failures.
The Second Amendment reads: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” The exact meaning of the text was disputed for many years. Finally, the Supreme Court held in Dist. of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008) that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess a firearm and to use that weapon for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense. This right is protected from infringement by federal, state or municipal government.

Poor Poor ...Spola....!
Has someone threatened to take that right away from you? I will assume that you meet the normal standards of civil behavior - adult, not a criminal, not crazy, smart enough to know how a safety works, etc.
Me specifically?, no.
Is there a push to nullify the second amendment?, absolutely.
Show me who it is that scares you the most.
This is pretty scary.
Clowns have always given me the creeps,.. even the ones who pretend to be nice.
What scares you the most? (besides the President)
Did you find the question too hard to answer? So far you are up to none in a row - off to a flying stop.
